So I am still tossing this around in my head, but I thought it might bring some clarity if I wrote about it here. My blog is a safe place for my thoughts....
.....I'm thinking about getting a tattoo.
Yes, I know they look weird when you are old.
Yes, I know my mother would be not pleased.
Yes, I know the dangers.
Yes, I know they hurt.
But, I think I really want one.
It wouldn't be some place where it could be seen everyday. It would be for me. I'm a little worried about the pain, but then I think, hello, I freaking had heart surgery while awake. So I think I could handle the pain. Right? ;)
I would get a quote from Shakespeare's The Tempest. It is by far my favorite play. This past semester I fell in love with the words of Shakespeare. So if I ever got a tattoo, I would want it to reflect my love of literature, which is a huge part of my life.
Option 1: "When I waked, I cried to dream again"
Option 2: "Be not afeard; the isle is full of noises, Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not."
I know that I have many lurkers, but no commenters. But today, I am asking for your advice. What do you think?

Use sound judgement. Make sure it's something you will love when you're eighty (as far as design goes). I say go for it. I have a lot of friends who are getting them right now...and they are my age! :-) Nose piercings too. Me, I'm not doing it. Good luck with all that. ha.
bahahah you should totally get my face tattooed on you somewhere. LOL
I like the first quote a lot. You could get it right across your tummy, and use your belly button as a dot on an "I". I'll go with you to get it and photo-document everything. :)
I just saw this post. Eeek.
Yes! Go for it. :) I have a list of 3 tattoos that I want to get. I just haven't done it yet.
